Volkswagen Passat 1.8t AEB MODS 1st Post

[danc93]

Hi All,

My Name's Dan and I'm from RADELAIDE! AUS, Recently purchased a VW Passat 1.8t AEB Stock 99'

Here's some Pics Untitled don't be too judgmental of my choice of website.

Thought I'd check in to this forum, to see if any advice can be given on good places to go for certain jobs in Adelaide and where some good sites are to purchase parts, cheap as possible.

Also, If there are any relevant car clubs in Adelaide for Euro/German/vw car clubs that go on cruises etc. please inform!

At the moment the current Mods and prices I'm looking at doing are as follows:
- APR chip $900 as I cannot find anywhere else in Adelaide that does Chips
- $600 coilovers from the UK, adjustable, entry level ones.
- M3 Boot lip $25
- Badgeless front grill $42
- foldout dvd gps head unit, $265
- Vw Gear knob top $6- $15
- Halo Head lights $160>
- Turbo back exhaust $1500
- Door trim $36
- Possibly Leather the Seats *$1000 or something

Any advice on my decisions or goobs in Adelaide that have some connections feel free to share the love for these beautiful cars!

Cheers,
Dan

Welcome on board.

If you feel like catching up with some other local VWers we have a regular (monthly) catch up.

Please see this thread for the next upcoming events: Adelaide: Monthly Coffee And Drive Meet - Announcement Thread

Discussion thread on previous drive days/upcoming events: Adelaide: Monthly Coffee and Drive Meet - Discussion Thread

Sounds like you have a few mods already planned

Adelaide's APR dealer is German Auto at Edwardstown (just off South Rd). There are several other tuners that are represented as well, although I'm not sure which tuners have something specifically for your 1.8T. Check out the Tuning and Performance (inc ECU upgrades) section.

Cheers lads! Good to get some information based in my city as it seems there is it abit of a shortage of German love groups in aus. Needless to say ill be smashing through these forums you've linked for information!
